Do you need an AGI to teach/sign off private ground school if you're a CFI?

....and don't forget, the best part of spending $80 on an AGI is you now qualify for that snazzy "gold seal" CFI ticket when you've met the 8 in 10 requirements!

Oooooooooooooooooh!

Military pilot to civilian pilot

My license does not have ATP on it, as I never converted this to a civil rating mostly due to the fact I was finished flying (medically speaking)...

Seems to me that you could still take your military records to the Flight Standards District Office and see if they will convert your ATP even though you may not meet the requirements to hold a medical certificate, that should not preclude the FAA from issuing the certificate - just precludes you from exercising many of the the certificates priviledges!

Sorry, but the only FAA pilot certificate that can issued on the basis of military experience only is a Commercial certificate.

14 CFR 61.73 sets forth the issuance of civilian pilot certificates to military pilots:

Sec. 61.73 - Military pilots or former military pilots: Special rules.

(a) General. Except for a rated military pilot or former rated military pilot who has been removed from flying status for lack of proficiency, or because of disciplinary action involving aircraft operations, a rated military pilot or former rated military pilot who meets the applicable requirements of this section may apply, on the basis of his or her military training, for:

(1) A commercial pilot certificate;

(2) An aircraft rating in the category and class of aircraft for which that military pilot is qualified;

(3) An instrument rating with the appropriate aircraft rating for which that military pilot is qualified; or

(4) A type rating, if appropriate . . . .

(emphasis added)

To be issued an ATP, he would have to take an ATP practical.

Hope that clarifies the point.

I should have read the original post a couple more times before typing a reply - Bobby you are right on (as usual).
